Zonnewater

The water crisis, especially in tropical and subtropical developing countries, is becoming more and more dramatic. At the same time, a serious global energy crisis lies ahead. Recognizing that drinking water is absolutely essential for life, the Dutch company Zonnewater (Sun water) is trying to find a solution to this urgent and life-threatening problem.

The goal
Goal is to develop a reliable, simple, maintenance-free and optimized drinking water system that needs no regular spare parts (like filters or membranes) and is based entirely on renewable energy.

The Innovation
Aqua Solaris Family Well: one cubic meter of clever physics and technology producing 40 liters of premium drinking water per day for the main needs of one family.

Aqua Solaris Agri Well: approximately five square meters of ground cover and 200 liters per day output - the basis for a family, a small drinking water business, irrigating a small vegetable garden, etc. Large-scale systems for solar desalination, wastewater treatment and a simple and reliable technology for drinking water sterilization are in development.
